Clean Code in Go - Writing good package names

This is a second post of a series that started here based on a talk I gave about Go and Clean Code(slides here, in Portuguese) Now I’m gonna talk about package names and how to choose package names in the Go way. First of all, packages in Go is how Go code is organized. It is similar to a Python module and pretty much the same as a Java package, a C# namespace or a JavaScript component.

Why you should choose your Python module names more carefully

We code everyday. We produce code fast, following the rhythm of the rock and roll guitar playing in the background and every time we focus on writing code fast, we miss some important things that makes us lose time in the future.
